Lykke Li releases No Rest For The Wicked video

Stately and melancholy, Lykke Li's new single No Rest For The Wicked now has a stately, melancholy video to call its very own.

Like the song, the Tarik Saleh-directed clip is a tale of betrayal. "I let my true love down," sings Lykke, who stands aside while her lover is hunted down by some dodgy-looking ne'er-do-wells.

None of it is particularly cheery but, on the plus side, you get to see Lykke Li in a hairnet.
